According to the Almanac, there was a meeting on the Chaucer Street bridge replacement on Wednesday night (Jan. .17) that was attended by over 100 people. I was not one of those people, because I received no notification of the meeting, even though I commented on the EIR options and provided contact information. The article said that there was very little negative feedback on the two options presented, both of which involved flood walls. Was that because none of the many Willows residents that commented on that issue in the EIR review meeting last fall were invited? There were many commenters at that meeting that opposed approaches that would detract from the natural character of the creek, including the creek banks.

There needs to be another opportunity for Menlo Park residents to provide input on the EIR selections, this time with proper notification.
